REDACTED – B: REDACTED, Yellowknife, N.W.T.
Report of Strange Object Striking Clan Lake, Clan Lake Dist. N.W.T.
(YELLOWKNIFE DETACHMENT CASE)
DATE 25-8-60
15-8-60. With reference to the above and toΒ previous correspondence submitted in this connection,Β please be advised that on this date a patrol was madeΒ by CF-MPX to the scene of this occurrence and furtherΒ examination of the area was carried out.
2. The water on Clan Lake is considerably lowerΒ than on the previous patrol on July 19th., 1960 withΒ only a foot of water in the spot where the object isΒ supposed to have landed. The lake bottom at this particularΒ spot consists of approximately eighteen inches of looseΒ black silt and then very hard clay. It was possible toΒ wade through most of the area and a thorough check was madeΒ by probing with 3/8″ metal rods. Due to the consistencyΒ of the clay underlying the silt it was impossible to probeΒ to any great depth and the greatest depth reached would beΒ about five feet. Nothing whatsoever was detected during theΒ probing. The area was also thoroughly checked with aΒ Geiger counter but this proved negative. Prior to departing,Β the area was marked by placing trees in the mud in anΒ upright position and sufficiently high that they would beΒ visible above the snow in the winter in the event that aΒ magnetometer check is considered warranted.
3.Β
Mr. Gordon BROWN, Geologist, Yellowknife, N.W.T.,Β who is in charge of all fieldwork in this area for theΒ Giant Gold Mines, Yellowknife, N.W.T. advised the writerΒ that he would be quite willing to do a magnetometer checkΒ of the area after freeze-up if transportation was supplied.Β Mr. BROWN would supply the magnetometer.
4.
In view of the foregoing this file will continueΒ as hereunder shown pending further instructions in the aboveΒ regard. Diary date as marginally noted, requested, please.
